Principal McGee.

“We are thrilled to unveil our new original series that will introduce an incredible cast of young stars in the making and electrifying musical numbers you will fall in love with,” Nicole Clemens, president of Paramount Television Studios & Paramount Plus Original Scripted Series, said in a statement. “Annabel and Alethea have managed to brilliantly capture the spirit of the iconic beloved classic film which like Rise of the Pink Ladies, is both set in the past but relevant to the present.”

The series will be written executive produced, and showrun by Annabel Oakes, and executive produced by Marty Bowen, Adam Fishbach, Erik Feig, Samie Kim Falvey, and Alethea Jones, with Grace Gilroy serving as producer.
